Japanese Class from a native Japanese speaker living in Utrecht!

Japanese language, Japanese culture, anime etc has been increasingly popular in many countries worldwide lately. Japanese is a difficult yet very beautiful and interesting language to learn. If you would like to learn Japanese, and learn about the life in Japan in general, you came to the right place! I give fun easy going lessons by mostly encouraging you to speak, because taking it into practice and talking is the quickest way to learn! It's a safe non judgemental space to make mistakes as much as you have to!

About Me

Hello!
My name is Alethea, and I am a violinist based in Utrecht. I have studied under Theodora Geraets, and Chris Duindam at Utrecht Conservatory. I have been teaching since 2019, and currently taking courses in the art of teaching. I love to help people progress, to not only teach but learn from each student. I believe each student is unique and has different needs in regard of methods and approach of lesson. Last but not least, I hope to be a teacher that would make the student leave the lesson with more motivation, encouragement and smile on their face:)

Education

I started Violin at the age of 7. I have studied with Yuuko Araki in Tokyo Japan. At the age of 17 I started studying at The Royal Conservatory of The Hague under Theodora Geraets. Now I am taking Bachelor Degree in Classical Violin at Utrecht Conservatory under Chris Duindam. I am also a member of National Youth Orchestra of the Netherlands, and UYO Orchestra.

Experience / Qualifications

Excellent teacher!!
I started taking violin lessons at the age of 7. After years of training, I am currently continuing my violin studies at Utrecht Conservatory. I have also attended music theory classes for 6 years because it is very useful to have some knowledge of it when playing any instrument. If you would like, I would be more than happy to share some knowledge of music theory along with the violin lessons. Lessons are private and not in groups.

Send a message explaining your needs and Alethea will reply soon:
The more detail, the better.
Ex. "Hi, when are you available to meet for a lesson?"

Kokugo - Japanese as Heritage Language for Native/Multilingual Children
This is individual Japanese/Japanese language instruction for primary and secondary school students whose native language is Japanese or who are growing up in a bilingual environment. By reading aloud a variety of texts and writing compositions, students will gradually improve their Japanese skills. ・Learning programs adapted to each level, objective and environment ・Those who want to improve their Japanese skills in a bilingual environment ・Those who wish to take entrance exams or pursue higher education after returning to Japan Living outside of Japan, knowing the world of languages other than Japanese, and knowing the language of Japan, which is far from Europe, all have the potential to broaden one's horizons and the world. It is an irreplaceable experience. I would like to use my experience living in Europe as a child and my university studies as a returnee in Japan, and help them learn Japanese together so that they can develop Japanese as an important language for them.

Learn Japanese culture and language ! (Beginners/intermediate/Advanced)
Hello there! はじめまして! I am Risa from Tokyo, Japan. I have various experiences in teaching Japanese culture and language from children to adults in English and Spanish. I'm learning various languages as a non-native speaker, so I know how learning foreign languages can be challenging, but at the same time, so fun! :) The key to fluency is repetitive practices, from my experience. What is your purpose to learn Japanese culture and language? In the first session, let me know your specific needs and objectives so as we can take the best way to achieve these goals. Together we will practice the diverse proficiency skills (reading, writing, listening, and speaking). The class will be semi-structured and flexible according to your needs and goals. Feel free to contact me!

Chiaki
Japanese Lessons - Born in Tokyo, I have a Master's degree in Language Education and am certified in Japanese language teaching
Hello!🍡 My name is Chiaki (千明 in Japanese, it means "a thousand lights") and I am a Japanese teacher in Lausanne. Passionate about foreign languages and cultures, I studied Japanese teaching at university and obtained a master's degree in language teaching. I truly believe that a good teacher is also a learner. Through my own experiences with languages like English, German, Arabic, Italian, Korean, and French, I have come to understand the challenges, doubts, and joys that come with diving into a new language. For me, learning a language is more than just words. It’s a way to see the world through a new lens, to understand different cultures, and to build bridges between people. I believe that this knowledge can break down barriers and foster a more peaceful world. 🕊️ As a Japanese teacher, my goal is to offer my students the chance to discover the world through the “Japanese prism”🌈 If you dream of learning Japanese, I would be happy to accompany you :)

Let's learn Japanese with a native through a casual talk
-------About me Name: Ayaka Origin: Osaka Japanese: Standard Japanese, Kansai dialect Jobs: Flight Attendant (past), Yoga Instructor (active) Hobbies: Traveling, Yoga, Photography, Walking and hiking, Cooking, Skiing, Animal lover ----------About the Lesson--------------------- The main focus will be on "Speaking." Q. Why is speaking the main focus? A. We want you to experience the joy of speaking Japanese through free talk. Just learning words from manga is not easy to understand what natives say in daily life. I will assist you in learning vocabulary and acquiring natural expressions by speaking with native Japanese speakers. -----A message to the students at the end----- I love cultural exchange and have a friendly personality. Having traveled to various countries and learning German, I understand the challenges and joys of learning a new language firsthand. This makes me happy to be able to help you learn Japanese. I look forward to the day when we can have enjoyable conversations together.
